Lama and Thakur to Compete for Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives
Kathmandu. A contest is set for the position of Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives between Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) lawmaker Saraswati Lama and Shram Sanskriti Party lawmaker Ruby Kumari Thakur. Federal Parliament Secretariat spokesperson and Joint Secretary Ekaram Giri stated that the nominations for Lama and Thakur were registered during the designated time frame of 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM on Thursday.
The Federal Parliament Secretariat informed that Shram Sanskriti Party lawmaker Aryan Rai served as the proposer for Ruby Kumari, while Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) lawmaker Ashok Kumar Chaudhary and Shram Sanskriti lawmaker Ambika Devi Niraula served as supporters.
Similarly, Lama registered her candidacy with RPP parliamentary party leader Gyan Bahadur Shahi as her proposer, and fellow RPP lawmakers Khushbu Oli, Tahir Ali, and Bharat Giri as supporters.
The ruling party, RSP, holds a clear majority in the House of Representatives. In the 275-member House, the RSP holds 182 seats alone. Therefore, it is certain that Thakur will be elected Deputy Speaker if the RSP votes for her.
Following the registration of the candidacy at the Federal Parliament Secretariat in Singha Durbar, RSP General Secretary Kabindra Burlakoti told journalists that they would vote for Shram Sanskriti Party candidate Ruby Kumari for the post of Deputy Speaker.
